Burnham vows to end existing pension triple lock in 2030 to help fund care
He said: "The state pension will continue to rise every year at least by prices or 2.5%. And it will hold its value relative to earnings over time so that pensioners will always share in the rising prosperity of the nation."But this change will generate significant savings which we will use to build up our national care service. "Some may not realise it but older people with nothing more than the state pension, or only a little more, can find themselves paying care changes today from that small income.
